Proverbs

⁵A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth might. ⁶For by wise guidance thou shalt make thy war: and in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. ⁷Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate. ⁸He that deviseth to do evil, men shall call him a mischievous person. ⁹The thought of the foolish is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men. ¹⁰If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. ¹¹Deliver them that are carried away unto death, and those that are ready to be slain see that thou hold back.
